"I'm just shocked that it's taking this long on a simple return of a cell phone … That's all," he said.

Hours later, Maygard’s phone was returned to him in a sealed evidence bag. The video was on the phone, but Maygard realized that he only began to record after he saw the arrest. The actions that caused him concern are not on the video.

While he locked the phone before giving it to police, Maygard suspects it was accessed, because some of the settings were changed.

He says despite the arrest, he’s still glad that he took the video that night.

"You’ve got to stand up for yourself, because if you don’t, no one else will."
